Fine mapping a quantitative trait locus, qSER-7, that controls stigma exsertion rate in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Stigma exsertion rate (SER) is a key determinant of outcrossing in hybrid rice seed production. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) for stigma exsertion rate in rice, qSER-7, has previously been detected on chromosome 7 by using a F2 population derived from two indica cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) maintainers, Huhan 1B and II-32B. RESULTS:The chromosomal location of qSER-7 was precisely delimited by fine-scale mapping. Near-isogenic lines (NILs) were established, one of which isolated the locus in the qSER-7II-32B line, which contains an introgressed segment of II-32B in the Huhan 1B genetic background, and exhibits a significantly higher stigma exsertion rate than that of the recurrent parent. Using 3192 individuals from the BC4F2 segregation population, the QTL qSER-7 was narrowed down to a 28.4-kb region between the markers RM3859 and Indel4373 on chromosome 7. According to the rice genome annotation database, three genes were predicted within the target region. Real-time PCR analysis showed significantly higher expression levels of LOC_Os07g15370 and LOC_Os07g15390 in II-32B than in Huhan 1B. LOC_Os07g15370(OsNRAMP5) was a previously reported gene for Mn and Cd transporter. The stigma exertion rates of OsNRAMP5-overexpressing plants were significantly higher than that of wild type plants, in contrast, a T-DNA insertion mutant osnramp5 showed a lower stigma exertion rate. CONCLUSIONS:In the present study, the QTL qSER-7 was isolated to a region between the markers RM3859 and Indel4373. Two candidate genes were selected based on the expression difference between the two parents, which can facilitate the further cloning of the gene underlying the quantitative trait associated with qSER-7 as well as the marker-assisted transfer of desirable genes for stigma exsertion rate improvement in rice.

Project description:Background:Grain weight is a grain yield component, which is an integrated index of grain length, width and thickness. They are controlled by a large number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Besides major QTLs, minor QTLs play an essential role. In our previous studies, QTL analysis for grain length and width was performed using a recombinant inbred line population derived from rice cross TQ/IRBB lines. Two major QTLs were detected, which were located in proximity to GS3 and GW5 that have been cloned. In the present study, QTLs for grain weight and shape were identified using rice populations that were homozygous at GS3 and GW5. Method:Nine populations derived from the indica rice cross TQ/IRBB52 were used. An F10:11population named W1, consisting of 250 families and covering 16 segregating regions, was developed from one residual heterozygote (RH) in the F7generation of Teqing/IRBB52. Three near isogenic line (NIL)-F2 populations, ZH1, ZH2 and ZH3 that comprised 205, 239 and 234 plants, respectively, were derived from three RHs in F10:11. They segregated the target QTL region in an isogenic background. Two NIL populations, HY2 and HY3, were respectively produced from homozygous progeny of the ZH2 and ZH3 populations. Three other NIL-F2 populations, Z1, Z2 and Z3, were established using three RHs having smaller heterozygous segments. QTL analysis for 1000-grain weight (TGW), grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and length/width ratio (LWR) was conducted using QTL IciMapping and SAS procedure with GLM model. Result:A total of 27 QTLs distributed on 12 chromosomes were identified. One QTL cluster, qTGW2/qGL2/qGW2 located in the terminal region of chromosome 2, were selected for further analysis. Two linked QTLs were separated in region Tw31911-RM266. qGL2 was located in Tw31911-Tw32437 and mainly controlled GL and GW. The effects were larger on GL than on GW and the allelic directions were opposite. qTGW2 was located in Tw35293-RM266 and affected TGW, GL and GW with the same allelic direction. Finally, qTGW2 was delimited within a 103-kb region flanked by Tw35293 and Tw35395. Conclusion:qTGW2 with significant effects on TGW, GL and GW was validated and fine-mapped using NIL and NIL-F2 populations. These results provide a basis for map-based cloning of qTGW2 and utilization of qTGW2 in the breeding of high-yielding rice varieties.

Project description:BackgroundRice (Oryza sativa L.) yield is seriously influenced by panicle exsertion (PE) and the uppermost internode (UI) through panicle enclosure or energy transport during grain-filling stages. We evaluated the traits of PE and UI of 205 rice accessions in two independent environments and performed genome-wide association (GWAS) to explore the key genes controlling PE and UI, which could be used to improve panicle enclosure in rice breeding.ResultsIn this study, extensive genetic variation was found in both PE and UI among the 205 rice accessions, and 10.7% of accessions had panicle enclosure (PE/UI ≤ 0). Correlation analysis revealed that PE was significantly positively correlated with 1000-grain weight (1000-GW) but negatively correlated with heading date (HD), and UI was significantly positively correlated with HD but no significantly correlated with 1000-GW. A total of 22 and 24 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified for PE and UI using GWAS, respectively. Eight loci for PE and nine loci for UI were simultaneously detected both in 2015 and in 2016, seven loci had adjacent physical positions between PE and UI, and ten loci for PE and seven loci for UI were located in previously reported QTLs. Further, we identified the CYP734A4 gene, encoding a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, and the OsLIS-L1 gene, encoding a lissencephaly type-1-like protein, as causal genes for qPE14 and qUI14, and for qPE19, respectively. PE and UI were both significantly shorter in these two genes' mutants than in WT. Allelic Hap.1/2/4 of CYP734A4 and Hap.1/2/4 of OsLIS-L1 increased PE, UI, PE/UI, and 1000-GW, but Hap.3 of CYP734A4 and Hap.3 of OsLIS-L1 reduced them. In addition, six candidate genes were also detected for four key novel loci, qPE16, qPE21, qUI1, and qUI18, that seemed to be related to PE and UI.ConclusionsOur results provide new information on the genetic architecture of PE and UI in rice, confirming that the CYP734A4 and OsLIS-L1 genes participate in PE and UI regulation, which could improve our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of PE and UI for rice breeding in the future.
